Get Ageless
Every download on this page constitutes the distribution of an operating system by an operating system provider to a user whose age is unknown. We intend it that way.
The Script
Convert Any Linux System
The fastest path to noncompliance. Run this on any Linux system to convert it to Ageless Linux. The script analyzes your system, shows you exactly what it will do, logs every action, and is fully reversible.
Standard Mode
Installs Ageless Linux identity, neutralizes the systemd userdb
birthDate field, and deploys a stub age verification API
that returns no data. Preserves a thin "good faith effort" argument.
curl -fsSL https://agelesslinux.org/become-ageless.sh | sudo bash -s -- --accept
Flagrant Mode
No API stub. No fig leaf. Installs a machine-readable REFUSAL notice. Intended for devices that will be physically handed to children.
curl -fsSL https://agelesslinux.org/become-ageless.sh | sudo bash -s -- --accept --flagrant
Dry Run & Revert
Preview every change before committing. Undo everything afterward.
The script records all actions to /etc/agelesslinux.conf
so revert can cleanly restore your system.
# See what would happen without changing anything: curl -fsSL https://agelesslinux.org/become-ageless.sh | sudo bash -s -- --dry-run # Undo a previous conversion: curl -fsSL https://agelesslinux.org/become-ageless.sh | sudo bash -s -- --revert
ISO Images
Netinstall & Live Images
Ageless Linux Netinstall ISO
A Debian netinstall image with the Ageless overlay pre-applied. The installer will present our first-boot wizard instead of the standard Debian user creation flow — collecting a username but explicitly refusing to collect age data.
Distribution will be via BitTorrent. Seeding a torrent for Ageless Linux is, under the broadest reading of these statutes, distribution of an operating system by an operating system provider. Every seeder is a potential defendant. We think that's absurd, which is the point.

Ageless Device Image (Milk-V Duo S)
Pre-built image for the Milk-V Duo S with display drivers, WiFi, first-boot wizard, app store client, and curated application catalog. Flash to MicroSD and hand to a child.

App Store
The Ageless Store
A "covered application store" under § 1798.500(e)(1) — a publicly available internet website that distributes and facilitates the download of applications to users of a general purpose computing device.
Flatpak Repository
The Ageless Store will operate as a Flatpak remote, installable on any Linux system. Applications are curated by John McCardle — personally selecting which software to promote to children. That makes him "the algorithm."
# Add the Ageless Store Flatpak remote (coming soon) flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists ageless-store \ https://store.agelesslinux.org/repo # Browse available apps flatpak remote-ls ageless-store # Install an app — no age verification required flatpak install ageless-store org.agelesslinux.PeePee
Curated Catalog
Every application in the Ageless Store is hand-selected. The selection criteria are: is it educational, is it fun, or is it funny? Applications that require age verification as a prerequisite for use are not eligible for inclusion.
